Celebrity drag

New Line / Weinstein Company

By Deborah Netburn, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer To help inspire those daring guys who might enjoy putting on a bra just once in their life, or girls who want to experiment with machismo, weve put together a list of famous performances from Hollywood personalities in drag. Some of these costumes could be re-created easily; others would take a team of five makeup artists a minimum of four hours to pull off. But if Cate Blanchett and John Travolta can do it, why cant you?

When she donned the hoodie: The music video Obsessed (2009) Why she did it: To mock Eminem, who she dated in 2001 and sings about in the song. "You're so lame. Oh boy, why you so obsessed with me? Oh finally found a girl that you couldn't impress? Last man on the earth still couldn't get this." Convincing? She looks like a man, not Eminem. But the transformation is surprising. Costume feasibility: Uh, grab a baseball hat, a hoodie, some baggy pants and voila? This one's not labor intensive
